Vampire Weekend album update: "Guitar's not dead."

Vampire Weekend frontman Ezra Koenig has given the first update on the forthcoming album, the first since Modern Vampires of the City (2013) and the first without founding member, multi-instrumentalist, and producer Rostam Batmanglij.

In a lengthy Instagram post, Koenig shared the album’s amazing working title: Mitsubishi Macchiato (“cuz it is a helpful concept”). He also lightly touched on the album’s sound: “A lil more springtime than the last one. Guitar’s not dead.” As far as when the thing’ll be out, he says the band is working on finishing the album ASAP.
